Your email draft is 300 words. Your pitch deck has 15 slides. Your landing page copy scrolls forever.
But can you explain the core message in one sentence?
If not, your audience won't get it either. ChatGPT can run the TL;DR test on any piece of communication, stripping away fluff to reveal what you're actually saying.
Try this prompt:
You are a communication editor. I need you to test if my message is clear and focused.
Please:
1. Rewrite this as a single, clear sentence that captures the main point
2. If the core message gets lost or watered down, tell me exactly where it lost focus
3. Suggest one specific fix to make the original sharper
Here's my draft:
[PASTE YOUR MESSAGE HERE]
Be direct about whether this passes the clarity test.
If ChatGPT struggles to find your main point, your audience will too. Use its feedback to cut the excess and sharpen what matters.
Happy prompting!
